importing second gen Colt SAA

I have a question for those who may have experience importing firearms. Is a Colt 1873 SAA, second generation with 5.5" barrel importable? By my calculations it scores 67 points on the 45 point ATF scale for revolvers, but my importers are telling me ATF has declined to approve it because it is 'too small'.

I am wondering if this may be (a) simply a mistake or (b) confusion with another Colt 1873 model (which one I don't know) or (c) something to do with the drop test. Would the SAA pass the drop test?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
 
I don't think any Colt SAA will pass the drop test, but an antique doesn't have to. A second generation, if I understand correctly, would have to and can't.
